Outreach and Consultation

Outreach is a service provided to assist with the personal development of students. We offer seminars and programs that focus on relevant issues that students face on a daily basis. These issues include but are not limited to stress management, relationships, depression, and substance abuse.

We are also available to consult with students, parents, faculty, staff, and student organizations about various student life issues.  Students use of counseling services are confidential and will not be disclosed to parents unless the student has given the Center permission to do so or otherwise required by law.

Don't Cancel That Class Series (Outreach in the Class)

The seminars address topics such as stress management, self-esteem, substance abuse, and developing healthy relationships. If a course instructor is unable to lecture on a given day, she or he can request that a Counseling Center staff member come to this lecture section and present one of these seminars.

The Counseling Center makes a strong effort to meet all requests for these programs. We ask that course instructors provide the Center with at least two weeks advance notice when requesting this programming.

Educational Classes

The Counseling Center offers students the opportunity to attend several educational classes each semester to assist them in their personal development.   Each class addresses a specific topic.  The following classes are offered: Alcohol and Other Drug Education, Anger Management and Conflict Resolution, and Decision Making Skills.

Group Counseling

Group counseling is available for students to attend. In a group setting students are able to learn new perspectives and ways to deal with their problems. They receive the support of their peers and trained professional counselors in this setting.  Current group offerings at the Counseling Center include The Interpersonal Issues Group and The Stress Management Group.

Finding Your Beauty Workshop

Finding Your Beauty is a workshop designed to help women of all ages learn to celebrate the things that are wonderful about themselves.

We are not just talking about physical beauty. Every woman has something about her that is beautiful. She just needs to give herself permission to celebrate it. Finding your beauty is for any female NSU student regardless of age, race, major, classification, or background.
